Ya, I wanted to build something with a blackfoot "extreme" body but they seem to have disappeared from earth....So I thought this current body, with the CCfoot vs4 phoenix bed would look cool, but they don't match in scale....it too wide for the cab... So, that's for another "dream".......

This will be a faster rig, I think....

That is a cool project. I have been wanting to do a Black Foot build forever, but finding the right chassis and axles to go under it is a challenge.

I would love it if they made an older style bed with the rounded fenders instead of the squared, this would be more like my dad's 78 Ford.

So, this is the first kit I've 99%, almost completed, and buit in like 10 years IIRC wheelbase doesn't quite match up I'd say 20-25mm should do.

I think I've figured something to try out. MT12 links.. they longer.

There ya go. Longer links will put the axles under the wells. As long as the drive shafts can take the shift, all is good.
Looks like a fun rig to bash around.
